"jughead, gracie, you guys can talk to me about anything. i don't get why you didn't tell me your dad was in the serpen—"

"we were ashamed. but he's our dad, arch."

"i get it. i do." archie nodded, putting down his guitar onto his bed, which he had been letting me stay in for the time being, while he slept on the couch downstairs. "is that where you have been? at that 'whyte wyrm' place?" he asked me.

i nodded. "i was— visiting some friends." i tried to change the subject. "and jug told me everything that happened with andrews construction. is there anything i can do to help?"

"pray for a miracle.
and gracie?" he asked.

"yeah?"

"you're not planning on joining the serpents are you?"

"alright. i got it, cher." i nodded, softly stepping onto the deep red carpet.

"now, what do you want?" she asked with candour.

i flopped onto her bed. "about the other day...i really did want to help you. i promise. it's just... right now, i'm—"

"well, spit it out—"
